I work for Red Hat, where I lead JBoss technical direction and research/development. Prior to this I was SOA Technical Development Manager and Director of Standards. I was Chief Architect and co-founder at Arjuna Technologies, an HP spin-off (where I was a Distinguished Engineer). I've been working in the area of reliable distributed systems since the mid-80's. My PhD was on fault-tolerant distributed systems, replication and transactions. I'm also a Professor at Newcastle University and Lyon.

Long weekend coming up

It's a national holiday here on Monday, so this is a nice long weekend. Unlike my 2 week vacation which only ended at the start of last week, I've decided to not touch anything remotely work related until Tuesday (that holiday turned out to be > 50% work!) Well that's the theory at least. I know there may be some pressure to bend that rule slightly, so we'll wait and see!
